Sensor spies hideouts for ?virus replication: An antiviral, found in some people’s cells, outwits an immune escape plan used by several dangerous viruses
While some types of RNA viruses cloak themselves to hide inside a cell and create copies of themselves, a “detective enzyme” might be attuned to their whereabouts. A slight variation in their genomic code gives some people’s cells the capacity to produce this sensor. Many positive-strand RNA viruses share a strategy to avoid detection by […]
